571　Not sentimental 不是多愁善感

My friend received a package from the Navy containing the civilian clothes her son was wearing when he left for boot camp. Not wanting to open the box, she put it away. This cracked up her husband, who accused her of being sentimental. “I'm not sentimental,” she shot back. “I'm realistic. His shoes, socks and underwear have been inside that box for two weeks, and I'm not going to be the one to open it!”

我的朋友收到一个从海军寄来的包裹，里面是她儿子在去新兵营的时候穿的便装。她不想打开它，就把它放在一边。这使得她的丈夫发火，指责她是多愁善感。她反击说：“我不是多愁善感，我是现实主义。他的鞋、袜、裤衩已经在那个盒子里放了两个星期。我不想去打开它。”
